Hello,

I have some serious issue. Sometimes something happens and my disk
usage performance find its limit quickly. I follow with gstat and
iostat -xw1, and everything usually happens just fine, with %b around
20 and 0 to 1 pending i/o request. Suddely I get 30, 40 pending
requests and %b is always on 100% (or more than this).

fstat and lsof gives me no hint, because the type of programs as well
as the amount of 'em is just the same.

How can I find the PID which is hammering my disk? Is there an iotop
or disktop tool or something alike?

Its a mail server. I have pop3, imap, I also have maildrop and
sometimes, httpd, working around the busiest mount point.

I have also started AUDIT, however all I can get are the top PIDs
which issue read/write requests. Not the requests which take longer to
perform (the busiest ones), or should I look for some special audit
class or event other than open, read and write?

Thank you in advance.

FreeBSD homepage! I'm a bit puzzled here because it's not obvious to 
me where to find the driver. Will someone shed the light for me, Please?


I've installed FreeBSD 7.0 amd64 and it does not identify the NIC 
proberly.


Thanks

Can you try a prerelease of 7.1, it has the igb driver which I suspect 
will support that nic:


ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/7.1/

Also would you mind posting the output of pciconf -lv   which we could 
use to be more sure which driver you need?  I would personally be 
interested in that output plus the dmesg output because I plan to buy 
the same model laptop and I think you are the first person to be found 
on the web running FreeBSD on it :)  Thanks.
